In a world of abandoned dreams and countless wishes,
I’m lost in between an embrace
and meaningless kisses
The thesis of my heart has been paraphrased in pain
In vain are spoken attractions
that seems to keep mispronouncing my name
And what am I to those... that exposes their emotions,
but turn their backs on me when the wind blows colder...
And it’s their noses they turn up,
after turning my affection down
Whenever I think I’m stepping in the name of “Love”,
“She” changes her direction, and just turn around
Tell me, what’s the point of changing,
when the world sees you the same?
And tell me, why should I call on Love,
when she doesn’t even know my name?
I’ve cried all of my tears,
and all of my pride I’ve swallowed,
If I was to borrow God’s heart
in loneliness I’d probably still wallow
Tightly sealed palms, embalmed in fantasy chases...
Slow walks in the park, embarking on a journey that doesn’t exist,
but your heart’s racing...
And starring eyes are just hidden lies,
peaking from the windows of your soul
And all that you remember about love only expose what you don’t know
Something so beautiful and pure;
God’s gift to man...
“Bones of my bones...”
“Flesh of my flesh...”
So their ugliness I can’t understand
What is love...
If your heart is in a noose hanging from your throat...
And your soul is shattered - scattered into a thousand emotions,
composing disregarded love notes???
But it’s something we all desire
Selling our souls to obtain
Not realizing we’re only suffering from this agonizing pain
Win, lose, or draw, it should be wisdom we gain,
instead we all fall for the same deceit -
searching for sunshine where it rains
And I’m drenched with lies, and the games of evil hearts
It seems love is a musical melody,
and I’m still waiting for the verse to start
So, for me there is no chorus,
and the rain still pours...
So I let them disguise my cries
Therefore, my tears , I can shed more
What is love,
if the corridors to its rooms are closed
and you’re walking with blinders on...
And she pretends not to be home...
Is love really that cold?
See I’ve possessed all the symptoms -
the itchy throat, and runny nose,
but just because you can’t stop sneezing
doesn’t meant that it’s a cold
So all of the interest that they’ve showed,
and the feelings they’ve confessed...
Somebody please tell me,
what is Love...
If after 25 years you haven’t received it yet.
Tha Prodigal One...
Expectations
I wanted the fairy tale,
the prince, the horse
breathing mist on approach.
I wanted the palace
and the gowns and jewels
and none of that happened.
The world is full of haves
and those without want is all.
The land is rich in wealth
turned to cash, and love
usually follows wealth
and cash.
.
Once achieved, this love, this
wealth, sharing is sacrosanct as if
giving and helping out was
depersonified, expatriated, not
for the havers. Let someone else
solve. We have to go to the mall
now.
.
Nice.....
Really nice.
